Smooth the climb
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,622 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 504 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 17 at KBMC Brigham City Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 428 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KBMC Brigham City Regional Airport, where it climbed from 4,781 feet above sea level to 10,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,229 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south west of Wolf Creek, lasting 16 minutes and covering 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 2 miles south west of Bingham Canyon, where it climbed from 10,033 feet above sea level to 11,574 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,541 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 6 miles south east of Tooele, lasting 16 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Lehi, where it descended from 12,021 feet above sea level to 6,309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,712 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of American Fork, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport was made from the north west, heading 145.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 2,622 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 83 knots.
The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 65 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,328 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 103 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 145.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 10°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 120°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind of 1 knot each, which did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft touched down on runway 13, which has a length of 2,622 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 83 knots.
The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,328 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the use of runway space. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the score of 99.5% reflects the high level of skill and expertise demonstrated by the pilot.
